RE: Do pet birds get avian flu like chickens do ?
The problem of avian flu spreading to pet birds in not a far fetched one. Nowadays, people have complex interactions and it would take a singular case of exposure to get the disease to someone's home. Avian flu is a rapidly spreading epidemic. Sometimes one has to release the pet birds from their cages and transfer them for cleaning or repair purposes. Since avian flu is zoonotic, it can easily spread to the pet owner from other affected birds in the compound and then to the pets. But this is not a clear and present danger since corrective mechanisms like disinfection and proper handling of animals wearing gloves would prevent the spread of avian flu in most situations. In one does not sea chicken of other birds vulnerable to avian flu in the compound, the danger of avian flu is minimal.
